When the 'lil one was just a few months old, she accidentally pulled my necklace off my neck. Of course, the gold chain broke which also broke my heart as it was the first jewelry I ever bought myself from my first salary. I can not blame my kid for what have had happened because she didn't know any better. If there is someone to blame, it should be me. I forgot to take it off. I knew that time that she was starting to grab things of her reach. Well, busyness made me forget. You know how it is if you are a new mom. You gotta do everything and learn from it. Anyway, tiill this day, the broken chain is still in my jewelry box. It ain't fixed nor changed. Maybe now is the time to give the value back. Tomorrow is payday. After my appointment, I might go ahead to see someone who could fix it.
Next month, February, I am hosting a friend's baby shower. It is supposed to bee celebrated this month but some of my friends (housewives) can't afford to make it for now because of the huge amount they spent for gifts last Christmas. Heart's day is the most suggested day for a double celebration -- Valentine's party and Baby shower.
Each guest shall give a pack or box of diaper plus a surprise gift. I already bought diapers as well as ordered a baby carrier from kelty backpacks collection. My friend is a sports enthusiasts and loves to run and walk. So the baby carrier is a perfect gift. She could go for a walk with a baby on his back or chest. Go shopping with no stroller and so on. Hope she'll like it.
Can't wait for the party come. Excited from the preggy mom.
In a world largely run by technologies, high technologies so to speak, comes a huge concern on our own security not only from home invaders but as well as from electronic hackers. Statistically speaking, one person is being hacked within the matter of three minutes. It is that fast and you could hardly realize it if you own that much in your account just like the person I know. Not only that, it happened to my husband. We were in the Philippines for a short vacation when someone took three hundred US dollars ($300) from his bank account. The bank traced who's who and was coming from texas, a state nearby. Eventually, the bank gave my husband's money back as part of their security policy.
In relation to what I was talking about earlier, I am scared, too, to be one of the victims of this hard to resolve crime. That is why, I am using paypal on my online orders and have a wallet to protect my credit and debit cards. Yes, I own an rfid blocking wallet to help me protect my assets. Hopefully, I won't get hacked at the latter.
For quite sometime, I have disregarded this blog. To give you an idea of how long, starting this post was harder than I thought. So much to say, I didn't write anything personal for so long. I missed blogging, indeed!
New year is a start of a new beginning for me as well as my family, thus, I am baptizing this blog with a personal post before the first day of the year culmates.
2012, the year that I am so looking forward to come, not that I am not thankful for 2011 but this year's plans are the things that excite me the most. To start with, my marriage to my husband is coming to it's fifth year. The lil one is turning four which means she's gonna outgrow the so called"terrible three". Here comes the Philippine trip in September for my dad's 60th birthday, and of course, church wedding of the best couple in town --- me and the husband ; ). Hmn...and me turning 30 come July is not that I am excited about but the present that the husband promised me (wink). Kidding aside, I am thankful to God for a great life and for everything he gives this year. There are so much planned family activities and fun just for the lil one. For her security, I am not laying everything here since this is an open blog.
Anyway, the start of the year was a whole lot of fun. The husband and I took the lil one for a ride to see some fireworks. Stopped by at a friend's house for dinner as well as popped the amazing fireworks in the neighborhood. Haven't slept for 26 hours, I felt so groggy and looked haggard last night but had to hold myself for the lil one. I did that stupid thing because the lil one is realizing occassions or celebrations now and I want her to enjoy every single of it with a family beside her. Seeing her so happy paid all the tiredness off. We came home around 11:30 last night. Just a few minutes after the first hour of 2012 ended, I was out. Never heard anything. No loud fireworks noise, no laughs or screams and everything. To sum it up, I had a great slumber in the couch. I woke up feeling so great!
The house by the way looks new to me. Christmas decors are down and are to be kept in the shed tomorrow morning. The lil one wants the tree back but no-no-no. After a quick explanation why, she finally agreed to wait when Christmas time comes.
Gosh, I am really getting sleepy. Tired I guess of taking all the decors down (exterior and interior) and put the house together to normal. I still have a lot to share but resting myself from my netbook is the best thing to do. Happy new year ya'll!
Reminisce...reminisce...reminisce.
I remember my high days everytime I see a guitar. Sing-along was the trend during my time every break time. My classmates and I were so into music that we gather most of the time to sing acoustic guitar songs. Well, I was the singer and at the same time the guitarist if the song is easy to play.
Recalling them days make me want to have a guitar not just for the selfish me but to motivate my daughter to be a music lover because she is already gifted with the voice. And since my Christmas wishlist is not done yet, I am listing the guitar as one amongst others. If Santa won't give it, I'll probably get me one early this year. Yes, I am in the mood and been longing to play the guitar again. It's been almost five years since I had my last play.
I am nice, Santa...wink
Our three-year-old kitchen faucet broke a week ago. It happened in the morning time while the hubby tried to wash his hands before breakfast. I was in the bathroom with my morning routine when I heard a scream for help. I ran as fast as I could that I was about to tip on my daughter's toy only to find out that we were having an indoor fountain. yah, we just had a lil swimming ground, too. Lol. So, I hurried myself underneath the sink to turn the water valves off.
Two days after that funny day, we went to the store for kitchen faucet shopping. This time, the husband let my picked the lucky one without price limit. He just had to swallow big time for I got the kinda expensive ones knowing that it's gonna last long and that can be reused when I decide to update the kitchen. THere would be less things to worry about such as undermount stainless sinks and other lil hardware besides granite.
Did you know that for the longest time I have not slept in our master bedroom? That is right! The hubby sleeps there by himself during the night. Whatever is in your mind, you are wrong. We don't have marital problems just a common simple couple's quarrel. Anyway, the reason why the set-up has been made because of our irregular schedules. The hubby works days and I work nights. So when he's working, I am sleeping and I lay in the spare room where I won't be disturbed. Hubby comes home often and he does his weight lifting thing in the bedroom.
Since the bed in the spare room is kinda old even the mattress, I am planning to take it to the new level by purchasing a new bed and maybe a foambymail memory foam mattresses as a gift to myself come Christmas Day. I guess this is a great idea.
Great deals. Everyday. Nomorerack.
